Description

A charming semi-detached cottage positioned within the ever-popular village of Cley, Dolphin Cottage presents an appealing blend of character, comfort and thoughtful modernisation. Having been both a much-loved permanent residence and holiday home over the years, the property has been carefully updated by the current owners to create a welcoming and versatile space suited to weekend escapes or full time living.

The ground floor centres around a generous open-plan reception area, designed with both relaxation and sociability in mind. This light filled space offers flexibility for dining and entertaining, flowing seamlessly into a stylish modern kitchen, newly fitted in 2025 by Simply Kitchens of Holt, with contemporary units and finishes. To the rear, a bright conservatory provides an additional reception area, enjoying views over the garden and creating a natural connection between inside and out.

The private rear garden is a peaceful and sheltered setting, ideal for enjoying warmer days or hosting guests, with a sense of privacy that enhances the overall appeal.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, with the added benefit of an en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom, providing comfortable and flexible accommodation for family and guests. The loft is boarded and fitted with Velux windows, offering excellent additional storage space.

Further benefits include a useful en-bloc garage, providing valuable storage or parking, alongside the advantage of a chain-free purchase.

Perfectly positioned, the cottage is just a two minute walk from the quay and within easy walking distance of the beach, making the most of Cley’s sought-after coastal setting.

Dolphin Cottage represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented home within one of North Norfolk’s most desirable villages, equally suited as a lock-up-and-leave retreat or a permanent residence.

CLEY-NEXT-THE-SEA
Cley-next-the-Sea is renowned for its winter visitors and rare native birds, visible from the village’s iconic windmill. This quaint coastal village boasts unique shops, two pubs, a church, and acclaimed food spots like The Cley Smoke House for smoked fish and Picnic Fayre for gourmet delicacies.

Just under five miles away lies Holt, a community focused town known for its local events such as the Holt Festival and 1940s Weekend. Holt features traditional shops like a butcher, fishmonger, and greengrocer, alongside Bakers and Larners, a historic department store and food hall since 1770. Gresham’s School, founded in 1955, adds to the town’s rich heritage.

Holt offers chic boutiques and lifestyle stores, including Norfolk Natural Living for locally made fragrances. Byfords deli and café, believed to be the town’s oldest house, is a perfect spot to relax with coffee and watch the world go by.

For those seeking a coastal lifestyle, Cley-next-the-Sea and Holt epitomize the charm and community spirit of North Norfolk.
